La Petite Maison, An Architectural Seduction

As an architect, sometimes it's nice to be noted on the essence of your profession. Ultimately it is all about the perception of space by light, sound and time. Just like in the movie.

O vídeo começa com um edifício que ganha vida. O olhar abre-se em direcção à paisagem. Movendo-se na envolvente, outra presença insinua-se; vislumbra-se, mas nunca se revela completamente. Com o desenrolar do filme, a presença humana - a mulher - e a arquitectura começam a fundir-se. A situação culmina quando a mulher submerge na água e entra num sonho... a sedução arquitectónica.

The video begins with a building that gains life. The gaze opens towards the landscape. Moving around the site, another presence is hinted at; glimpsed but never completely revealed. As the film unfolds, the human presence - the woman - and the architecture begin to merge. This culminates as the woman submerges herself in water and enters a dream... the architectural seduction.
